venting the 7.3 diesel.

ok i have already put new valve cover gaskets on my engine and now im installing a turbo. i know that the vent tube should be in the valve cover to air intake tube but i was wondering, could i just put the tube from the air intake to the cover for the timing gear?

I'm guessing here but are you refering to the cdr venting? If so it can be vented to atmosphere too or into the timing cover with the Banks adapter and formed hose.

yea thats what i meant, the cdr vavle.

The best thing really is to go with a road draft tube. Don't hook it up to your intake. If that isn't an option for you, I would defintely still go with the Banks adapter.

I'm thinking of doing a custom intake based on the 6335 filter and I'll need to do a rdt if I do this. wondering - does the length of the rdt matter? I was thinking of shooting mine out by the exhaust...
